Over 50 years ago, the world was first introduced to what would quickly become a cultural phenomenon. It was a television series that inspired developments in
Science and technology, broke social barriers, and transported viewers around the globe to new adventures and uncharted frontiers. This fall, STAR TREK: DISCOVERY follows the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new life forms, while learning that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself.
Cast members scheduled to appear include Sonequa Martin-Green, Jason Isaacs, Doug Jones, Shazad Latif, Mary Wiseman, Anthony Rapp, and James Frain alongside executive producers Alex Kurtzman, Gretchen J. Berg, Aaron Harberts, Heather Kadin and Akiva Goldsman. The panel will be moderated by series guest star Rainn Wilson, who will appear as "Harry Mudd," the charismatic conman and intergalactic criminal that was first introduced in the original "Star Trek" television series. The newest edition of the Star Trek franchise will premiere in the U.S. on
CBS ALL ACCESS Sunday, Sept. 24, following a broadcast premiere on the
CBS Television Network. Saturday, July 22nd; Ballroom 20, 2:30PM.
